Deletes, Heated mirrors and heated steering wheel

[MattR]

Window stickers "usually" get posted a week prior to your build week so you should expect to see something in about 2 weeks.

Yea. That’s why I mentioned the dates. I was hoping for it next week as I originally got moved up but I guess the usual delay cycles continue

I really hope this is only applicable to lower trim F-150's such as XLT, Lariat, Lariat Ultimate. I simply cannot imagine Ford thinks deleting these options from Platinum, King Ranch, Raptor, Raptor R ranging from $73,000-$110,000 MSRP would actually fly.

What would be really cool is a return to the a la carte menu style of ordering. Seems like with modern computers that would be easy. I'd lose the heated steering wheel, the applique, the ACC, the ASS, the rain sensing wipers, the push button start, and a handful of other stuff. Then they could build mine first because less chips. And it would cost less. Win for FMC, win for me. That would work.

ITS NOT

This would really pîss me off. The heated steering wheel is one of those things you didn’t even know you needed until you have one. They are the TÏTS in the winter time.

I believe Granger said it applies even to Raptor and Lightning. They offered refunds on orders

That reminds me. The refunds Ford is offering for the two are peanuts. $140 won’t come close to touching the cost to get a heated steering wheel retrofitted after the fact. Also, they are essentially crediting you for their cost but keeping the profit for what they charge for the option.

Ford leadership is just flying by the seat of their pants at this point. These trucks have thousands of microchips each…produce a few less trucks to get complete vehicles to owners.

I meant deposit refunds to customers who don’t want to continue.

But agree the credit is shit

So when will we find out if this is all F150s or some? I have to be honest, I love my 2017 Raptor (probably my favorite vehicle I’ve owned) and would have gotten a R but I didn’t feel like paying the ADM. I worked to find a MSRP deal on a 37’’ and ordered a few weeks ago. Now who knows when I’ll actually get my truck. It could be a year from now, and who knows what options it will have when it shows up? I‘m close to just ordering a M5 and saying screw Ford. It’s just not worth the head ache.

I know. That’s why I said “that reminds me”.

Cool that they are doing it though. I live in Louisiana so not a huge deal but it does suck for people in cold states
